Teaching a student with disabilities on how to write can be a challenging concept. Students normally learn how to write on terms of how their culture speaks. So you would have to break them out of non-traditional writing. Then you would have to help them understand the concept of sentence structure. The sentence structure will follow with subject, predicate, and adjectives to complete the sentence. Completing a sentence will allow them to understand the difference in folk talk and English text. You can help them understand that a run on sentence doesn't have any punctuation. So showing them how to correctly punctuate a sentence can be a simple way of separating folk talk from proper speaking.

Students that have trouble with writing, have these types of troubles because they don't know how to complete a sentence. Helping a student with a learn disability is not as hard as one would think because a school district will need to send that child to a speech therapist. The therapy will allow them to understand the difference in words. Once they know how to pronounce words you can then bulid on sentence structure. Buliding on sentence structure is the hard part of writing because knowing when to use punctuation is tough. The biggest problem is stopping students from creating a run-on type of sentence.
